GATHERING OF THE CLANS.
A good number Of Congressman are in
the city and their ranks are being recruit
ed daily by new arrivals. They belong
mostly to the contingent who live in
boarding houses and at small hotels and
who come early to arrange their quarters
for the coming session. II is very gen
orally understood that the congressional
sessions are the harvest times for Wash
ington, Board that would cost an Or
binary person $50 per month at ordinary
times, costs these extraordinary individ-
uals $75, and in some cases 800, and
they pay it without murmur as the
price assessed against their prominence.

''pR1vEN WELLS" DEFEATED.
What is known as the "driven we'll
patent" which has been several times be-
fore the United States supreme court, and
which has always heretofore been sus-
tained, vas declared invalid in an opin-
ion by Justice Blatchford, based upon
the record in case number sixteen, An
drew Green aud others against George
Hovey, brought by appeal from the
United States circuit court for the south
ern district Of Iowa. This court holds
that the fact is now made TO appear for
the first time in s'driven welln litigation
that the invention was used in public
at Cortland, New York, by others than
Green, more than two years before the
application for patent was made, is fatal
to the patents validity. The decree Of
of the circuit court in favor of the al
legged infringer, Hovey, is affirmed.

Don't Have to Sell Out.

The transparent advertisements-
"Selling Out" Sweeping Reductions"
Summer Slaughter"-are old trade
chestnuts, and no one cracks them. No
good business house needs to resort to
such methods to attract customers. You
never hear of WOlfson putting out such
cards, and yet he keeps busy in the
hardest times. He does not have to ''sell
out" He is "selling out" and 'buying
in" all the time. He has worlds OF
goods, and is receiving consignments
bought for cash all the time. The
harder the times the closer he buys and
the cheaper he sells. He can give you
today figures from 10 to 10 per cent be-
low those heretofore offered, and at this
"selllng price" he is continually increas-
ing his trade. Put it down for fact
that WOlfsOn knows how to buy, and
when you examine his goods for quality,
style, make and price, you will under
stand how 1t is that he keeps selling
these hard times without ringing in the
old chestnut of "Selling off at cost"

A republican state convention has not
been held IN great while that has not
strongly favored high protective tariff
in its platform. There was at one time
considerable vision among the republl-
cans upon this question, particularly in

saries. OF late years however, the former
have been gaining the upper hand, and

ton, but who still wish to retain their
membership in the grand old party are
compelled to eat very humble pie, indeed
Most college professors and college grad
yates are still believers in the freedom of
trade 1t has long been the boast of the
republican party that these men were in
cluded in its membership and on the
strength of this, it has claimed to be PEI
culiarly the party of civilization and edu>
cation. The question now arises, will
these learned men surrender their convic-
lions at the bidding of a few machine
politicians, or will they cast their fortunes
with the democracy. the only political
party that offers any hospitality to their
ideas? 1t certainly seems more plausible
TO suppose that they will adopt the latter
alternative. in which case the tauuts of
republicans directed towards democrats
on the score of their alleged superiority
in the matter of learning can be returned
with interest.
